I'd be interested in your thoughts on whether it would be an option to run this concept on a cell phone in the first place. Given cell phones have the processing power, battery, charging hardware, and the necessary wireless radios, could they be an option?
I'm think rooted devices so that power hungry features could be controlled (e.g. the screen) without turning off the camera.
Yes, I'm sure all of this could run just fine on a cell phone as well.
I think the main considerations are cost and power consumption. Something like a full-blown Android device still has a lot of overhead in both hardware and software that could be trimmed off.
If a Raspberry Pi was sufficient with only 15% CPU utilization then there is a lot of room to reduce hardware costs and improve battery life.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
A really cool idea. Thanks for the write-up.
